Because I followed the links you provided when I was reading your post.<br />But then somehow whilst I was writing my comment, that information just evaporated away...<br /><br />*facepalm*... I can be a fool at times.<br /><br />I also just remembered something else I was going to write in my first comment and forgot.<br />When Dark Vengeance was released, I did what many people did and thought those cultist would make pretty nice gangers with a little conversion work, haven't got around to it though. My plan was to make some Cawdor/Redemptionists, by using some of the some of the spare Night Goblin heads. Cut the points from the hoods and sculpt new hoods/cowls to fit the figures and paint the goblin faces as masks.<br /><br />I don't know if this will be useful for your Grav-Tank sculpt but you could experiment on a piece of card or blister pack and see if you like it.<br />Brush on some p.v.a. glue, drip, superglue all over it, when it dries you get some pretty cool organic textures.<br /><br />It's pretty random, that's why I recommend trying it on some scrap first. That's how I did some of the texture on my Nurgle bases.Stygianhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157673627988765453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221418482531324115.post-63937360103271228252013-12-14T09:31:25.496+01:002013-12-14T09:31:25.496+01:00Thanks, The grim moonfaced is not mine though, it&...Thanks, The grim moonfaced is not mine though, it's theottovonbismark who sculpted this and who is doing a terrific job on it (see his blog).<br />I agree these pictures are closer to the idea I have of the 40k universe where everything is not about war and religin but about strufggle to survive with more mature content.<br />The grav-attack is taking shape and is starting to look how I wanted it to. i'm going to steal a few of the tricks you used on your late nurgle beast to improve it a bit more.Asslessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475252828835332056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221418482531324115.post-55016279200942420762013-12-13T23:23:15.043+01:002013-12-13T23:23:15.043+01:00That artwork is still the way I imagine the 40k un...That artwork is still the way I imagine the 40k universe to be, most of the newer images are very nice, but they just do not convey that same feeling.<br /><br />I love the mask you created for the test model, that almost "moon-face" really captures the imagery of the classic artwork.<br /><br />I think I have a pdf of the collected Confrontation article on my hard-drive somewhere, may have to dig it out and give it a whirl.
